Captain Invictus posted:Nonsense. This isn't crazy at all. Yeah, I was sorta referring to you in particular, I saw your post in the other thread. I understand it's a totally different situation as far as what you're up to, but still, jeebus. When the packers see your order, they're going to do a double or triple take, and probably walk it back to get it verified at LEAST once.

e: Whoops, answered So long story short, Reaper really likes you  I might be interested in an extra vampire set but really, I have to get my grubby mitts on my own before I start buying even more. Bad Munki fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Mar 29, 2013 |

Man, now that I know they've started shipping, I'm really jonesin' for some bonesin'. I feel like a big RPG adventure based on all the dudes in the vampire set (with optional sidequests for add-ons?!) would be in order.

Everything I've heard says that you can actually get away without the resistor on a watch battery because they have such a high internal resistance. That's what I did for my glowing-rune standing stones, just wrapped an LED on to a 2032 and tucked it up inside the thing. They'd burn nice and bright for hours and hours and hours.

Wait, what? Paint? I was just going to declare them all to be Casper-esque ghosts of the creatures in question. "Oh, that? That's not a fire giant. That's a friendly fire giant ghost."

Ooh, people are starting to get their orders? Exciting! As for the detail/contrast/painting thing, it'd be nice to see two of the same figures side by side, one primed, the other not. That might nicely help show the difference in how the material can mess with your eye.

There's one point where you can clearly see the figure mash and twist against the table as its base folds over, ugh. I suspect it'll take a while for people to realize how to work with this relatively alien material. On the other hand, what other material that's currently in play would you use such a knife on? V  V

You know, honestly, if you write them a nice little email saying, "Guys, my rear end is getting shipped out in a couple months, is there any chance my box can get bumped up in the queue?" they may very well accommodate you.

Since the number of dollars you contributed to the kickstarter seems to be the only factor that matters to him, I propose Reaper offers a poll, wherein the weight of your vote is directly proportional to the amount you spent on the project. The options will be: 1) Everything else should be put on hold until Dipshit's order is processed 2) Everything will be handled according to plan, Dipshit's order will be processed when his turn comes up 3) Everything will be handled according to plan, except Dipshit's order will be the very last to be processed My prediction of the results: 1) 600 points 2) 100,000 points 3) 3,300,000 points Let the money decide!

Just leave those bases on and set them in hollow bases, fill with greenstuff. Otherwise, an exacto should take it right off, the plastic cuts pretty easily.

Yeah, I imagine that'll happen. If I got my order and it had a big error, honestly, I'd report it. Like, a dragon showed up that I didn't ask for, I'd be fair. I'm pretty sure they'd just say, "Lucky you!" but I'd feel better. If it were a small error, though, like a double-kobold bag or something? It'll cost them more to answer the phone than to just accept the extra grunt. Similarly, if I'm missing one or two little dudes, I won't care. If I'm missing any of the extras I asked for, of course, that's different.

Not to mention that the process of cleaning up a scan to get a really nice, tightly-detailed digital model for printing would be a significant portion of the time required to just model it digitally in the first place. I feel like if they were going to go that route, they'd just hire digital artists to model their figs on the computer from stage 1. Some places do. But going from green to digital to print to mold is like copying VHS tapes. Also, wasn't there some off-hand mention in a kickstarter update about getting the masters back from China now that they had their own rig? That would imply non-digital-ness at at least some critical step.

I'll be honest: I sooooorta wish I'd spent even more than the $300 I dropped and grabbed a couple of them dragons. I mean, I'd hardly ever use 'em, and who knows if they'd get painted before they decomposed, but they're awesome as hell anyhow.

Painting is best left for winter anyhow, when it's dark and cold and lovely outside. Summer is for beers on the patio. Or, if you insist on painting, painting majestic landscapes and grand vistas.

I still absolutely do not regret the $200 of added-on paints, giants, elementals, and other poo poo I grabbed. I am so stoked and I don't care if I have to wait until Christmas. My only regret is that maybe I didn't add enough stuff.

I don't think they ever claimed people would get their stuff in March. They said shipments would BEGIN in March. It may be a little pedantic, but it seems a critical distinction, in that they met their promise in that regard.

Brace yourselves, miniatures are coming.Reaper posted:Friday, June 7th, we received two 40ft containers full of Bones! For those of you keeping track at home, those containers were filled with over 470,000 models. We're still looking for the last container to be delivered next week, but we have enough to start shipping now. Sounds like they're actually skipping out on Origins so they can have all hands on deck to get this stuff shipped out.
